Product Description

From Harry Saltzman, the producer of James Bond classics Dr. No, Goldfinger, Thunderball and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, comes a film widely recognized as one of the greatest spy thrillers of all time. The Ipcress File is the first film in the series of Harry Palmer mysteries, based on the bestsellers by Len Deighton (Funeral in Berlin), that made Michael Caine (Gambit, The Black Windmill) a star. It is the height of the cold war, and ex-thief Harry Palmer (Caine), now reluctantly working as a secret agent, has been called in to investigate a strange occurrence among a number of leading scientists. It seems the scientists have been kidnapped, but reappear only days after the kidnapping, brainwashed and useless. During the course of the investigation, a tape is uncovered with the word “Ipcress” on it. This stylish classic was directed by Sidney J. Furie (The Appaloosa), shot by Otto Heller (Peeping Tom) and edited by Peter R. Hunt (From Russia with Love), with production design by Ken Adam (Dr. Strangelove) and music by John Barry (Diamonds Are Forever). The great cast includes Nigel Green (Let’s Kill Uncle), Guy Doleman (Billion Dollar Brain), Sue Lloyd (The Bitch) and Gordon Jackson (The Great Escape).

Good movie but poor copy

Good movie but poor copy
I enjoyed "The Ipcress File". Michael Caine is as excellent as I remember and the film was a lot of fun. What wasn't as much fun was the copy of the movie itself. The DVD did not contain ANY of the features listed on the box, no extras, no interviews, nada. Very disappointing, as a film buff I always bet a kick out of the extras and the trailers. Nothing on this DVD and the seller didn't even acknowledge my note that the extras were missing.

Reading the negative reviews, well it is a generational thing. One has to remember this was a movie made in '65. I'm not an authority but Len Deighton was a spy novelist during the time of Ian Fleming. Michael Caine's character of Harry Palmer was a more realistic "spy" no gadgets just a realistic everyday man in the spy business as a military officer.
Michael Caine was brilliant as Harry Palmer which lead to three other movies. Funeral in Berlin was a fairly well made movie.
This is actually a great whodunit and for the first time viewer it is suspenseful. The ending is Great....who did it????
Ipcress File is one of my favorite as an impressionable teen, as Sean Connery's James Bond. YOUNGER GENERATION people as reviewed find it boring, well it is not your Daniel Craig Jame's Bond super CGI movie. It is a basic spy story with dialogue and Caine is an appealing character.
The Spain bluray was just ok, actually one would be satisfied buying the DVD, but it is hard to come by or far too expensive. It is cumbersome switching to the English, as the default is in Spanish. There is no DTS 5.1 in English? I'm playing it through an OPPO 103, so it should read it. As I reported I luv'd this movie so jus kept it anyway. Hope this helps.

The first of the Harry Palmer spy films starring Michael Caine in the titular role, THE IPCRESS FILE remains one of the best of the 1960s spy genre. A matter-of-fact & understated story that's deliberately the opposite of the enjoyably larger-than-life fantasies of James Bond, it has at least one foot in LeCarre territory, in that it's grittier & captures the often boring aspect of real-life spy work. Yet its plot has a touch of the fantastic, one that could easily be blown up into a Bond film. Still, I'm just as glad that it didn't go that route.

The plot is simple: top minds are being kidnapped, then released—but their memories have been erased & their cognitive abilities have been damaged severely. It's a brain drain in somewhat more subtle & unsettling fashion, one that Palmer is assigned to uncover & stop. But here it's clear that he's quite dispensable & that he can't even trust his own side, as fellow operatives from his section are turning up dead.

And while the story is strong, the film is equally enjoyable for its look at mid-1960s England, capturing so many of the little details of the times. Younger viewers raised on the maniacally-paced action films of the present day may find the pace slow—but that slower pace makes for a richer film, allowing us to get to know Palmer's character, as well as the tone & ambience of his world. In some ways, it's almost a slice-of-life character study, except that this character's day job is that of a spy.

The John Barry score is all you'd want it to be, and this edition also features some welcome extras, including an informative commentary track & an interview with Caine. After more than half a century, it remains a gripping & consistently entertaining film. What more could you want? Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the great time capsules of the 1960's spy craze
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2010

One of my all time favorite spy thrillers. Michael Caine stars as Harry Palmer, a theif who now works for MI5 and the very unpleasant Colonel Ross played by Guy Doleman. If your looking for the anti-Bond that dosen't have the world weariness and brooding, then you found your man.

The world of Palmer is down to earth; Spying is not depicted as fanastic as being a Double-O, most of your time is consumed by having to do mundane duties like filing out field reports. However nothing about this film is boring, it's colourful in the sense that you know danger and surprises every moment when Palmer is out the field and mistakes can be made like accidentally killing an American agent. The plot also has that down to earth atmosphere but still keeps one's interest, scientists have been kidnapped and returned but they seem not to function in their occupation because of brain washing. When Palmer is captured and attempted to be brain washed it's one of the films' great highlights, truly breaking down the hero always a good move because it means his vitcory would be all the greater.

Ironcially most of the Bond people are behind this film but not in the usual sense; Ken Adam's sets are in no way sci-fi or remotely fantastic in any sense, it's all very much contemporary 1960's. John Barry's score is still quite jazzy but it's a little more subtle, I can't articulate it but you know this is a Barry score for something in the vein of James Bond but not really Bond.

Micheal Caine has Harry Palmer is such a great anti-hero who has a light side to him. As I said before this isn't James Bond who dedicates himself to the secret service, he's only doing intelligence work because the alternative is two years behind bars in a military prison. He knows how to sweet talk the women and he's a bit of a dork, laughing at his own jokes for example. Also he's a great cook and I do believe that is a turn on for most females.

I haven't watched those two Palmer television films from the 90's but I think it's safe to say this is the best film out of the series. Anyone who loves James Bond and is looking for something fun and different should check this film out.

Ho molto apprezzato il film con il suo audio in lingua originale dove si possono cogliere quelle particolari sfumatura di humour inglese naturalmente per chi ha una discreta conoscenza della lingua.
Michael Caine grande come sempre contornato da un buon cast di attori più o meno caratteristi ma che rendono bene l'atmosfera di spy story.
Audio e video di qualità ed extra interessanti.
Insomma un Harry Palmer in grande forma.

Certes Harry Palmer est un agent "secret", certes il aime les femmes et il est insolent. Mais il n'a pas les frais de mission d'un James Bond ni même tous les gadgets et ne saute pas dans un avion a la moindre occasion. Bien que ce soit un film qui a plus de 50 ans et qu'on voit par le style, les plans cameras et tout le décorum que c'est un film de cet âge, il n'a pas pris une seule ride. Excellent scenario, excellente musique ( John Barry ... ), un jeu d'acteur parfait avec des gens de talent. Ipcress est et reste un excellent film et surtout LE film qui a lance la carrière de Michael Caine juste après Zulu. Cerise sur le gâteau : si vous parlez l'anglais et que vous le mettez en version originale, le vocabulaire et le style utilisé tout au long du film est d'une finesse absolue avec un sens de l'humour anglais tel qu'on aime l'humour anglais.
